Skona Maj cancelled due to lack of commitment
by JoAnn Watkins
Although it was scheduled
over a year ago to be held
tomorrow, April 30, the Skona
Maj festival has been can-celled.
The decision was made
recently by the Administra-tive
Council of the president
and vice presidents.
"There was a real prospect
that it might not be pulled off
this year because there is not
a strong commitment to the
festival by a lot of people,"
said James Bragg, vice presi-dent
for public affairs. He
said Skona Maj is cancelled
only for this year and may be
continued in the future.
Bragg cited several factors
affecting the decision. Skona
Maj did not have priority in
planning schedules of the dif-ferent
departments usually in-volved.
"There has never been
a budget or objectives for the
festival," said Bragg. "There
is no alternative weather plan-ning."
There wasn't the feeling
that if we did it once it would
be perpetual," said Florence
Johnson, director of news ser-vices,
who was one of the
members of the committee for
the original Skona Maj. "In
the spring the campus is so
pretty. It is a way to bring
people on campus."
"Bethel has a heritage that
is " related to Sweden," she
said. "There is value in keep-ing
up Swedish traditions.
That doesn't mean that we
are thought of as a Swedish
institution. There is some-thing
in experiencing those
Swedish roots," Johnson said.
"We are in the heart of a scan-dinavian
related community
and people could have an in-terest
in Bethel because of
these events," She said that
anyone can be a Swede for a
day in the spirit of welcoming
May.
"I don't know of anyone
who wants it to die," said
Bragg. "It's a good idea and an
opportunity to involve a lot of
people." He said, "It has al-ways
been put together by an
ad hoc committee. Each year
it has lost some of the original
zeal."
"Dr. Brushaber tried to see
if we could keep it alive," said
Bragg. "What it needs more
than a budget is commitment
from across the institution
that they want it to happen."
He said that this could be
more readily accomplished by
having the festival as an all-school
event rather than
planned by an ad hoc commit-tee.
Bragg said an official an-nouncement
of cancellation
was not issued because Skona
Maj was never an official
event. "It doesn't exist in the
budget or in anyone's job des-cription,"
Bragg said.
Both Bragg and Johnson
said that an event like this is
needed in the spring. "We like
to show our neighbors what
we're like," said Bragg. He
said Brushaber has agreed to
appoint a study group to rec-ommend
what Bethel should
have as a spring public event.
Tight race causes run-off
between Barr - Van Sickle
A close race between can-didates
for President and
Vice-President of the 1983-84
BSA resulted in a run-off elec-tion.
None of the three pairs of
candidates received 40 or
more percent of the vote;
therefore, a run-off is neces-sary.
A run-off, between Col-lin
Barr/Curt Anderson, and
Steve Van Sickle/Robert
Thompson, will be held
Thursday, April 28, and Fri-day,
April 29, from 11 a.m. to
3 p.m.
According to Steven Lemon,
this year's BSA Vice Presi-dent,
825 votes were cast.
There were a considerable
amount of write-ins, invalid
votes and some obstaining.
Results of the Senate elec-tions
show that Amy Gabel,
Gina Pearson and Angie
Sperfslage will represent the
sophomore class; Bryant Day
and Les Laroche will repres-ent
the junior class; John
Young and John Zdrazil will
represent the senior class; and
Page. Brumley, Corinne
Schneider and Deborah White
will be Senators at Large.
Students are asked to vote
today, as voting will be held
until 3 p.m. Next week's Clar-ion
will carry information
concerning the winners of the
BSA President and Vice-Pres
ident as well as final number
counts of the Senate Can-didates.

Clarion trumpets
news to community
Have you ever noticed the wide variety of names that are
given to newspapers? There is The Star/Tribune, and The
Pioneer Press here in the Twin Cities. Other names include
The Daily, The Times, The Vindicator, The Press, etc. At
Bethel, there is the Clarion.
The definition of the word clarion is: loud and clear. It can
also mean a trumpet with clear, shrill tones. "An interesting
definition," you think to yourself, "but how does it pertain to
the folded pages of newsprint paper I get in my PO every
Friday afternoon?" That is a good question, so let me
attempt to answer it for you.
The stories that appear in The Clarion come from a
variety of sources. Often professors and faculty members
will stop by and tell us of an up-coming event that they
think is newsworthy.
Now I'm sure that many of you are thinking "Well if this
is so, why are the stories in The Clarion never any good?"
Now to me, this question is rather opinionated. Just because
one or two or even three, four or five people think that a
story is no good doesn't mean that it isn't. The population of
Bethel College is diverse and I think that every story that is
run is of some interest to at least one person on campus! As
stated earlier, the meaning of clarion is loud and clear. What
we do at the Clarion is loud and clear. We print stories that
involve Bethel College. We try to print honest, true material.
I know that often-times some of the things that are printed
seem to be hard to swallow, but they are still true.
The purpose of a newspaper, no matter how small it is, is
to inform the community of what's going on. In addition to
this, the newspaper is there to entertain and basically, just
to enjoy. The Clarion is the official publication of Bethel
College. The stories that appear in it relate to Bethel College.
It is a good way for the students and faculty to
communicate with each other in a setting other than the
classroom.
The Clarion is a part of Bethel College that is very
important to the overall good of the community. Just think
what you would do without that folded newsprint every
week. There would be no interesting columns to read, no
informative newsbriefs, no weekly events calendar, and
most of all no topics of controversy for people to react to.
Letters to the editor are accepted every week, and they will
be printed no matter what their subject matter is. This is
another aspect of the paper—it gives everyone a chance to
freely voice their opinion to the community.
The Clarion is here for everyone. Everyone can benefit
from it in some way.
We need not watch out for the ways in which we use the
Clarion, but for the ways we misuse it. We need also to
watch out for ways that we misinterpret it. This week and
every week let us look for things that benefit not only
ourselves, but others as well. Let us consider others as well
as ourselves when we read the Clarion. The paper is there
for everyone, let's not forget that when we pull it out of our
PO's on Friday afternoons.

Sanctuary is a Judeo-
Christian tradition which has
a dual meaning. It is both a
place where a community of
faith gathers for worship and
a place of refuge and protec-tion.
Because of this dual
meaning of holiness and ref-uge,
sanctuary is a particu-larly
potent image for church-es
and synagogues in consid-ering
our responsibility for
exceedingly vulnerable refu-gees
from El Salvador and
Guatemala. Public sanctuary
not only meets the immediate
needs of specific refugees, it
also brings to the public eye
injustices for which we are, in
part responsible—injustice in
expedient applicants of Im-migration
and Naturalization
Service policies; and more
fundamentally, injustices in
and resulting from U.S. pol-icy
in Central America. Safety
for the refugees and churches
providing sanctuary is not en-sured
legally; it is ensured
through public support. Pro-viding
sanctuary for an ille-gal
alien is an act of civil dis-obedience.
The following is a
letter to churches involved
with refugees from members
of the Bethel community.
• • • • •
We, the undersigned mem-bers
of the faculty of Bethel
College desire to publicly en-dorse
and encourage your ef-forts
to provide sanctuary for
refugees from Guatemala and
El Salvador. We believe your
actions are a strong testim-ony
of God's love and justice,
as well as simple obedience to
God's mandates to serve the
poor, hungry, and op-pressed—
not as charity, but
as restitution.
We are distressed by the
participation of the United
States in Guatemala's and El
Salvador's civil strife. The
U.S. role, represented in eco-nomic
exploitation and mil-itary
funding, advisors, and
training of government forces,
appears anti-thetical to pro-moting
justice and human
freedom. This is particularly
so, when such intervention is
being used to oppress and
silence people and to perpe-trate
atrocities. We call for
conflict resolution in El Sal-vador
and Guatemala through
negotiation, not violence.
We support change in the
application of U.S. Immigra-tion
and Naturalization Ser-vice
policies toward Guate-malan
and Salvadoran refu-gees.
We urge actions which
uphold the intent of the UN
Convention and Protocol on
Refugees and endorsed by the
U.S. through Public Law 96-
212:
No contracting party shall ex-pel
or forcibly return a refu-gee
in any manner.whatsoever
to the frontiers or territories
where his life or freedom
would be threatened on ac-count
of his race, religion,
nationality, membership of a
particular social group, or pol-itical
opinion.
We call for U.S. policies
which make human rights the
cornerstone, and in particu-lar,
we call for Extended Vol-un.

Please print this letter on
file as our endorsement of the
action of Church in
ministering to these vulnera-ble
people. We are grieved
that sanctuary for Guatema-lan
and Salvadoran refugees
involves breaking the law by
"harboring undocumented
aliens" and "conspiracy." We
are not entering this endorse-ment
lightly; we believe that
God's higher law is being
obeyed in serving these refu-gees

of Central America.

Hamann falls victim to budget cuts
by Suzy Shelly
Being thankful, the pursuit
of excellence, rock music and
laughter. What do these seem-ingly
dissimilar topics have in
common? All were among the
speech topics in the Bethel
Speech Tournament held last
Tuesday, April 19. Sophomore
Leah Shirm, one of the 35 par-ticipants,
enjoyed listening to
the wide variety of subjects
presented. She noted, "I had
no idea a speech contest could
be so interesting!"
However, the tournament
consisted of more than pro-viding
information to inter-ested
audiences. The inter-school
contest open to Bethel
students, gives practical
speaking experience by test-ing
speaking skills.
Three categories of compet-ition
include: Oral Interpreta-tion,
Impromptu and Public
Address (Persuasion and In-formative
speaking com-bined).
Each of the partici-pants
presented their speech
twice in preliminary round,
while the finalists in Im-promptu
and Public Address
went one additional round to
determine medalists.
Advancing to the final
round in Impromptu, the most
popular category, were Marty
Masterjohn, Lori Swanson,
Diane Henry, Debbie Stein-berg
and Perry Maas. Seven
advanced to the finals in pub-lie
address: Debbie Steinberg,
Cliff Short, Barb Felton, Beth
Alvarez, Tammy Frink and
Suzy Shelly.
Trophies were awarded to
the top two places in each
category based on a three-judge
decision. Winning first
and second in Impromptu
were Debbie Steinberg and
Lori Swanson, respectively;
in Public Address, first went
to Lori Swanson and second
to Debbie Steinberg. Wendy

Greg Hamann's and Connie
Johnson's positions as direc-tors
of resident life fell victim
to extensive budget cuts. On
May 31 their contracts will be
terminated with no replace-ments
for next year.
"A-lot of people will have to
pitch in to make up the differ-ence
in the work . load," said
Rod Long, director of college
housing. "It was not an easy
decision."
Hamann's present duties in-clude
supervising the. RD's,
directing the Student Union,
advising the Student Senate,
and directing the housing
maintenance staff. Johnson
shared the supervision of
RD's. After the termination,
all RD's and maintenance staff
will report directly to Long.
"As part of the budget pro-cess
we were asked to cut
one-and a-half positions,' said
Long. "I want to stress that
they were not fired, but their
positions eliminated. We're
losing well-qualified person-nel
that are an asset to the
program."
Hamann has worked for
Bethel housing for three years.
He's uncertain how it will
operate without two directors
of resident life. "I don't know
what they see," said Hamann.
"Theyr'e in a desperate situa-tion

its format has changed signif-icantly.

Hamann could give no spe-cific
details why his position
was cut. "I had it explained to
me very superficially. It's hard
to answer that question with-out
showing a bias."
"Everyone was asked to
make cuts," said Long. "And
we had cut equipment as far
as we could. There will prob-ably
be some things that won't
get done because of it."

housing staff. Long explained
that a general fund of the col-lege's
money is established
and that shortcomings in one
area do affect another. "It's a
common practice to use the
profits in one area and apply
them to another." Housing al-ways
has to generate revenue,
so money is often borrowed
from that fund. For example,
though health service is part
of Bethel, it still has to pay
rent to housing for using
townhouse space."
"In every person's life there are moments in which he can
know himself, tell himself who he is, whether he is a man
who values his human dignity above his life or a weak
creature who does not know his dignity and is concerned
with the useful (chiefly to himself). This is the situation
of a man who goes out to defend his honor in duel or a
soldier who goes into battle (although here the concepts
of life are wrong). It is the situation of a doctor or priest
called to someone sick with the plague, of a man in a
burning house or on a sinking ship who must decide
whether to let the weaker go first or shove them aside
and save himself. It is the situation of a man in poverty
who accepts or rejects a bribe. And in our times, it is the
situation of a man called to military service. For a man
who knows its significance, the call to the army is per-haps
the only opportunity for him to behave as a morally
free creature and fulfill the highest requirements of life—
or else merely to keep his advantage insight like an
animal and thus remain slavishly submissive and servile
until humanity becomes degraded and stupid."

Art students irate about curriculum change

Art students, irate over a
curriculum change switching
Graphic Design Studio from
next fall to the spring of 1984,
organized a matrix meeting
with art teachers and con-cerned
administration on Ap-ril
20. "It was strictly a stu-dent
initiated meeting," said
Tricia Brownlee, associate
dean for academic programs.
A combination of budget
cuts and sabbaticals taken by
Dale Johnson, associate pro-fessor
of art, and George Rob-inson,
professor of fine arts,
forced the administration to
offer only one section of the
Graphic Design Studio class
next year. Another reason
cited was the lack of student
interest in the course.
"I think it's creating a very,
serious problem by only of-fering
it in the spring," said
Johnson, normally the instruc-tor
of the class. "It causes a .
bottleneck because only 15
students can work in the lim-ited
space available. It's bi-zarre
that they're doing this to
save such a small amount of
money."
Part-tinie instructors will
be hired to replace Johnson,
who will be gone the entire
year, and Robinson, who will
be gone for a semester. "We've
never been in the financial
crisis like we're in now," said
Brownlee. "We ask for your
understanding. There have
been additions to the amount
of art courses available, so it
all balances out in the end.
We're cutting corners in every
way we can."
"Cuts in equipment across
the board cut the art depart-ment
to the heart," said John-son.
"It may not hurt, say, the
history department as much."
The change in course sche-duling
causes a problem for
some upper-level art students.
"We have to plan for the fu-ture,"
explained Peter Lane,
an • art major. "Don't tell us
two weeks before registration
that a class isn't offered. This
creates setbacks that make
me wonder if I can come back."
"It seems like we're cutting
ourselves where we
shouldn't," said Johnson. "I
don't know the answer to this
question, but I'm afraid we're
going to lose some very good
students."
Brownlee and Dean Ebner,
associate dean for academic
programs, suggested that a
sign-up for Graphic Design
Studio be circulated to dis-cover
real student interest in
the course.
"Bethel is considered one of
the best Christian liberal arts
colleges for art in the nation,
said Ebner. "[hit Bethel isn't
an art technological institute.
We just want to let you know
that weare not trying to deci-mate
the program."
Despite a turnout of 30 stu-dents
and five art faculty, the
prospects for two sections of
Graphic Design Studio is not
good; "To be honest," said
Brownlee, "I don't think we
can teach the course twice
unless some money falls from
heaven. A choice has to be
made between fall and
spring."
Conference encourages wholehearted commitment for Jesus Christ
by JoAnn Watkins
Why should someone go to
KC 83?
"Because KC 83 is calling
students to live a revolution-ary
lifestyle for Jesus Christ,"
said Bonnie Andrews, Bethel's
publicity coordinator for KC
83. "It's only as we live whole-heartedly
committed to Jesus
Christ that we'll see the world
changed for Christ."
KC 83 is a conference spon-sored
by Campus Crusade for
Christ Dec. 27 to Jan. 1, 1984
in Kansas City, Mo. Up to
25,000 students and faculty
are expected for the confer-ence.
Speakers at KC 83 in-clude

Mike Wiseman, second year
tournament director. How-ever,
the contests involved
nearly 200 students, making
the contest difficult to con-duct,
especially when it was
held both in the fall and
spring. Wiseman likes the
smaller size, saying "at least
those that enter are the ones
that really want to."
A few students, like LuAnn
Watson, entered as an option
for Basic Communication.
Though Watson participated
in high school speech, she
liked the Bethel Tournament
McDowell, Bill Bright, Eliza-beth
Elliot, Howard Henricks,
Dr. Joon Gon Kim, and Craw-ford
Loritts.
In addition to these speak-ers,
there will be special sem-inars
for college faculty, stu-dent
government, athletic
teams and international stu-dent
groups.
"One of the greatest forces
for God in America today is
Christian college and univer-sity
students, joined together
to see the world changed for
Jesus Christ," said Graham.
"This could well be the most
significant decade in our his-tory."
These people will be gath-ering
together in-unity of the
better because "it was so much
more comfortable and re-laxed."
Leta Frazier, assistant
speech communication profes-sor
and contest judge, said
the tournament gave students
"the opportunity to work un-der
some pressure. It is a good
experience."
Although the tournament
size was fairly small, the TA's
in the speech communications
department spent many hours
planning the event. Mike
Wiseman, Barb Felton, Dave
Carlson, Jill Johnson, Robin
Leone, Kevin Hanson, Peggy
Hardle and Scott Williamson
ran the contest.

make an eternal mark for God
and how to live a revolution-ary

She said there are four ob-jectives
for KC 83. The first is
to mobilize a spiritual force
to help reach all 11 million
American college students for
Christ by 1990 and to estab-lish
a win-build-send minis-try

Wiseman thinks the event
was a success. "Except for a
slight delay in the second
round," he said, "it did go very
well." Wiseman's major com-plaint
concerned the quality
of the trophies. "If I had it to

Tennis team shows improvement despite defeats
by John Lilleberg
The men's tennis team con-tinued
their string of losses
this past week. However, de-spite
the losses great improve-ment
was shown progressive-ly
over the last four matches.
Things began with a 1-8
loss to River Falls. Bethel's
only win was delivered by
Randy Westlund at number
three singles. Westlund was
pleased but realistic about the
win, "I really didn't play that
well—I just happened to play
better than he did. The clay
courts might have had some
effect on him."
The next match was a 9-0
loss to Concordia—tradition-ally
a team that trounces even
the strongest Royal squad de-spite
the fact that both teams
are generally equal in ability.
In the next meet Macalester
defeated Bethel for the second
time this year. Sophomore
Tom Mills, who scored Beth-erTonly
win said of the match,
"I think everyone improved—
the matches were a lot closer.
We tested our opponents a lot
more. We're starting to catch
up to the opponents; we
couldm't practice with the bad
weather." Mills then added, "I
really think we're going to go
out there and win some
matches."
Against Hamline the Roy-als
finally gave a glimpse of
the potential talent of their
young players. Wins from
number one singles Ken Dahl-quist
and number five Mark
Stewart gave the Royals both
of their points in a 7-2 loss.
The match marked the first
time the Royals had scored 2
points against any opponent
this year. Stewart, who over-came
a third set deficit to win
said, "It was our best match
so far as a team. The guys are
playing better. There was im-provement
shown."
This weekend Coach Bill
Henderson and his team will
attempt to improve the team's
fifth place finish a year ago at
the conference tournament.
The matches will be played at
St. Olaf today and tomorrow,
April 29 and 30.
Royal tracksters get
day in sun finally
Dave Johnson, Jr. gets all he can behind the javelin during the men's
meet at the Carleton Relays.
by Rich Whybrew
The sunburned faces and
necks of the men's track team
tell half the story; the team
finally got a nice day for run-ning
at the Carleton Relays
last Saturday. The other half
of the story is the team's
strong performances under
the sun.
Steinar Engebretsen was
Bethel's lone champion at the
meet, capturing first in the
triple jump at 44'. Mark Mur-phy
took fourth in the same
event, about a foot and a half
behind Engebretsen.
Only one tenth of a second
separates Layne LaFrombois
from qualifying for nationals
in the 100 meter dash as he
ran a 10.7 for second place.
The freshman was also on
Bethel's 4x100 and 4x200 me-ter
relay teams which placed
fourth and sixth respectively.

summer job! Act now! We
need a few hard workers.
Make $286 a week. Call for
an interview. 874-8013.
Bethel's 4x800 meter relay
team came in third, and the
4x400 meter relay team was
fourth until it was disquali-fied
when a team member
stepped out of his lane during
the race. Head coach Steve
Whittaker said Tom Plocker
"had a nice double" in those
two relays, anchoring both
and moving the Royals up a
couple notches in both events.
Whittaker also commented
on the fine performance of the
weather last weekend. "It sure
is great to get outside and get
some nice weather," he said.
"It was probably the most
exciting thing about the day."
The team will do double
duty this weekend, April 29
and 30, taking a couple relay
teams to the prestigious Drake
Relays in Des Moines, IA,
while the rest of the squad
goes to the Waseca Invitation-al.

•Netters experience `eventful' week
by John Lilleberg
The women's tennis team
won one match, lost two oth-ers
and lost their number two
player in an eventful series of
matches this past week.
Things began with a 9-0
win over Concordia. (Concor-dia
had to forfeit two spots).
Winning in singles were
Kathy Lee, Sarah Runion, Lisa
Iverson, Sharon Johnson and
Connie Masters. In doubles,
the teams of Lee-Runion and
Iverson-Johnson were victor-ious.
According to Coach Von-da
Bjorklund, "The girls 'did a
pretty good job. They played
well at times and not well at
by Rich Whybrew
Head softball coach Paul
Currie says "Lord willing"
quite often when talking about
the team's upcoming games.
"Lord willing" as in, "Tomor-row
we'll practice outside,
Lord willing." The weather
has soured Currie on plan-ning
very far ahead.
But the weather let up late
last week and early this week
to allow the Royals to play
five games; three in the Uni-versity
of Minnesota tourney
last Friday, and a doublehead-er
on Monday. Bethel went 1-

the three-for-five hitting per-formance
by Steve Sheedlo
who was starting his first
game for Bethel. Dutton also
pointed to the fence-crashing,
home-run-robbing catch that
Sheedlo made in the third
inning as a key play in the
game.
After getting 15 hits in game
one Bethel continued to rip
the ball in the second game.
Fauth keyed the Royal attack
with three hits, including a
home run, and four runs bat-ted
in. Fauth also came on to
pitch in the third inning of the
game to pick up the win.
Lewie Schultz and Jeff Ek-lund
also had three hits in the
game to help account for most
of the Royals 12-hit attack.
"We hit the ball just as well
the second game as we did in
the first," commented Dutton
of Bethel's offense. "Of course,
you ought to be able to win
when you get that many hits."
Earlier in the week Bethel
had a hard time buying a hit
in losing to the league-leading
Concordia Cobbers on April
19. The Royals lost the first
game 4-0 while producing on-ly
one hit in the process. Game
two went better offensively
for Bethel but worse defen-sively
as the Cobbers chalked
up a 12-4 win.

against a struggling
team."
In the next meet Gustavus
trounced the Royals 9-0.
Bjorklund did not seem con-cerned
about the score, how-ever.
She was more interested
in talking about the unusu-ally
large crowd that came to
see the team's only home
match this year. In reaction to
the crowd Bjorklund said, "It
was fun to see the fan sup-port!
The opposing coaches
were real impressed by the
size of the crowd."
The team lost more than
the match against St. Scho-coming
over the U of M junior
varsity.
That game began the sea-son
and the tourney for the
Royals, who were "up and
excited" according to Currie.
The team shut out the Goph-ers
3-0 due to Pam Mens'
strong arm and Corrine Mey-er's
big bat. Currie said the
team backed Mens up with a
strong show of fielding, and
Meyer led Bethel's in hit at-tack
with two of her own.
Six hours later Mens was
pitching again, this time in a
4-1 loss to Augsburg. Bethel
managed only two hits in that
game and two hours later in
"We got a bunch of hits but
we didn't field the ball," said
Dutton of the second game. "It
just goes back to not having

Runion for the rest of the sea-son
with a knee injury. "I was
going for a backhand and it
just went out," said Runion of
the injury. "I've done it be-fore,"
she added. Fortunately
for the Royals Runion does -
have one year of eligibility
left.
The team lost the match 6-3
mainly because of having to
forfeit two matches due to the
injury. Winning for Bethel
were Lee and Sherri Isvik in
singles and Lee-Iverson in
doubles.
The next match is today,
April 29, at St. Benedict's.

which the Royals lost 3-0.
Chris Johnson was the losing
pitcher in that game.
Monday the Royals played
St. Thomas in a doubleheader,
losing the first game 8-0 and
the second 1-0. Mens pitched
the first game and Johnson
, the second, but Currie said
pitching is not the problem.

time outdoors," he said. "The
ladies don't have much confi-dence

Women show 'significant' results
page 8 the Clarion sports april 29, 1983
by Rich Whybrew
The women's track team
had performances of assorted
significances last Saturday at
the Carleton Relays; one qual-ified
for nationals, four quali-fied
for conference, and at
least four more had personal
bests at the meet.
Linda Channer was the Roy-al
who qualified for nation-als,
demolishing the field and
the qualifying standard in the
10,000 meter run. She lapped
the entire field at least three
times en route to a first place
finish in 37:00. Her time was
fully a minute and a half under
the qualifying standard for
nationals.
Hurdlers Laurie Staurseth
and Kris Hartzell both got
personal bests and qualified
for conference in the 100 meter
hurdles. Staurseth ran 16.4 to
place fourth and Hartzell fin-ished
eighth.
Shot putter Penny Marshall
crept closer to nationals,
throwing a personal best of
38', just over a foot short of
the standard. She finished
fourth in the shot, and in the
discus throw had a personal
best and conference qualify-ing
toss of 108'21/z".
Chris Sorensen also quali-fied
for conference with a 13.5
mark in the 100 meter dash.
Terri Thompson finished the
individual personal bests with
a 1:16 in the 400 meter hur-dles,
and the 4x200 meter re-lay
team of Staurseth, Hart-zell,
Jenny Burgess, and Ken-dra
French took sixth.
"We were glad to hit some
warm weather," said head
coach Cindy Book. "It helped
us physically and mentally."
She said Staurseth, Chan-ner
and Marshall will not
compete in this week's meet,
due to a mandatory RA re-treat.
"It's too bad because
Linda needs the competition
she would be getting at Macal-ester,
this week's meet," said
Book. "But we're going to see
if she can qualify in the 3,000
meters next, then choose
which . of the events she will
run at nationals."
MIAC expands as Carleton moves into league
New member joining conference brings a plus-minus situation with it
by John Clark
The fact that nearly every-thing
is on the rise these days
comes as no surprise to any-one.
Food prices are up, taxes
have pushed gas up again, the
Dow Jones is on the rise and
the Minnesota Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference is in-creasing
its size.
Although Carleton College
joining the MIAC next fall
probably doesn't affect most
people as much as the other
examples do, it does change
things for conference schools.
Already the MIAC has 10
teams which is generally as
large as athletic conferences
come. With the addition of
Carleton the conference has
11 members.
George Palke, who will be-come
athletic director next
fall, sees the addition of the
Carls as a plus and minus to
the MIAC.
"As an institution they're a
real asset," he said "Athleti-cally
they create real schedul-ing
problems. It fills up our
non-conference schedule with
the two additional games.
Most coaches prefer to have a
few non-conference games."
Palke's basketball teams
play an 18-game conference
schedule. With Carleton the
conference schedule is in-creased
to 20 games. With
limits on the number of total
games a team can play coaches
can't schedule pre-conference
season games to ready their
teams for the conference sea-son.
Last season the men's bas-ketball
team travelled to Flor-ida
to take on four NCAA
Division II basketball teams
before the conference season
started. Although Bethel lost
three of the games the Royals
came into the conference sea-son
ready to play witnessed
by its second place tie.
For Carleton the move to
the MIAC probably does more
for the Carls than it might for
the MIAC schools. Carleton,
by joining the MIAC, elimi-nates
the problems of travel it
had when it was in the Mid-west
Conference. Of the 11
teams in the conference, four
were from Illinois, three from
Wisconsin and three from
Iowa. In other words, Carleton
sports teams spent a lot of
time away from school travel-ling
to competitions.
"The bottom line for us was
a reduction in time away from
campus," said Carleton ath-,
letic director Jack Thurmgood.
"Also there was the respecta-bility
of the MIAC in athletics
and academics as opposed to
the philosophical ties and
bonds in the old conference. It
was hard for us to leave."
The jury is still out as to
whether Carleton can compete
on all levels in the MIAC.
Some unfamiliarity with the
conference schools might
cause problems initially for
the Carls.
"They'll have some prob-lems
not knowing what other
teams do," said Palke. "We
have a pretty good idea of
what a team is going to do
against us."
"It's a moot question as to
how we'll do now," said
Thurmgood. "You might get
different opinions on our cam-pus.
I'm apprehensive in our
being able to compete in cer-tain
sports . . . It's kind of a
mixed bag."

Skona Maj cancelled due to lack of commitment
by JoAnn Watkins
Although it was scheduled
over a year ago to be held
tomorrow, April 30, the Skona
Maj festival has been can-celled.
The decision was made
recently by the Administra-tive
Council of the president
and vice presidents.
"There was a real prospect
that it might not be pulled off
this year because there is not
a strong commitment to the
festival by a lot of people,"
said James Bragg, vice presi-dent
for public affairs. He
said Skona Maj is cancelled
only for this year and may be
continued in the future.
Bragg cited several factors
affecting the decision. Skona
Maj did not have priority in
planning schedules of the dif-ferent
departments usually in-volved.
"There has never been
a budget or objectives for the
festival," said Bragg. "There
is no alternative weather plan-ning."
There wasn't the feeling
that if we did it once it would
be perpetual," said Florence
Johnson, director of news ser-vices,
who was one of the
members of the committee for
the original Skona Maj. "In
the spring the campus is so
pretty. It is a way to bring
people on campus."
"Bethel has a heritage that
is " related to Sweden," she
said. "There is value in keep-ing
up Swedish traditions.
That doesn't mean that we
are thought of as a Swedish
institution. There is some-thing
in experiencing those
Swedish roots," Johnson said.
"We are in the heart of a scan-dinavian
related community
and people could have an in-terest
in Bethel because of
these events," She said that
anyone can be a Swede for a
day in the spirit of welcoming
May.
"I don't know of anyone
who wants it to die," said
Bragg. "It's a good idea and an
opportunity to involve a lot of
people." He said, "It has al-ways
been put together by an
ad hoc committee. Each year
it has lost some of the original
zeal."
"Dr. Brushaber tried to see
if we could keep it alive," said
Bragg. "What it needs more
than a budget is commitment
from across the institution
that they want it to happen."
He said that this could be
more readily accomplished by
having the festival as an all-school
event rather than
planned by an ad hoc commit-tee.
Bragg said an official an-nouncement
of cancellation
was not issued because Skona
Maj was never an official
event. "It doesn't exist in the
budget or in anyone's job des-cription,"
Bragg said.
Both Bragg and Johnson
said that an event like this is
needed in the spring. "We like
to show our neighbors what
we're like," said Bragg. He
said Brushaber has agreed to
appoint a study group to rec-ommend
what Bethel should
have as a spring public event.
Tight race causes run-off
between Barr - Van Sickle
A close race between can-didates
for President and
Vice-President of the 1983-84
BSA resulted in a run-off elec-tion.
None of the three pairs of
candidates received 40 or
more percent of the vote;
therefore, a run-off is neces-sary.
A run-off, between Col-lin
Barr/Curt Anderson, and
Steve Van Sickle/Robert
Thompson, will be held
Thursday, April 28, and Fri-day,
April 29, from 11 a.m. to
3 p.m.
According to Steven Lemon,
this year's BSA Vice Presi-dent,
825 votes were cast.
There were a considerable
amount of write-ins, invalid
votes and some obstaining.
Results of the Senate elec-tions
show that Amy Gabel,
Gina Pearson and Angie
Sperfslage will represent the
sophomore class; Bryant Day
and Les Laroche will repres-ent
the junior class; John
Young and John Zdrazil will
represent the senior class; and
Page. Brumley, Corinne
Schneider and Deborah White
will be Senators at Large.
Students are asked to vote
today, as voting will be held
until 3 p.m. Next week's Clar-ion
will carry information
concerning the winners of the
BSA President and Vice-Pres
ident as well as final number
counts of the Senate Can-didates.

Clarion trumpets
news to community
Have you ever noticed the wide variety of names that are
given to newspapers? There is The Star/Tribune, and The
Pioneer Press here in the Twin Cities. Other names include
The Daily, The Times, The Vindicator, The Press, etc. At
Bethel, there is the Clarion.
The definition of the word clarion is: loud and clear. It can
also mean a trumpet with clear, shrill tones. "An interesting
definition," you think to yourself, "but how does it pertain to
the folded pages of newsprint paper I get in my PO every
Friday afternoon?" That is a good question, so let me
attempt to answer it for you.
The stories that appear in The Clarion come from a
variety of sources. Often professors and faculty members
will stop by and tell us of an up-coming event that they
think is newsworthy.
Now I'm sure that many of you are thinking "Well if this
is so, why are the stories in The Clarion never any good?"
Now to me, this question is rather opinionated. Just because
one or two or even three, four or five people think that a
story is no good doesn't mean that it isn't. The population of
Bethel College is diverse and I think that every story that is
run is of some interest to at least one person on campus! As
stated earlier, the meaning of clarion is loud and clear. What
we do at the Clarion is loud and clear. We print stories that
involve Bethel College. We try to print honest, true material.
I know that often-times some of the things that are printed
seem to be hard to swallow, but they are still true.
The purpose of a newspaper, no matter how small it is, is
to inform the community of what's going on. In addition to
this, the newspaper is there to entertain and basically, just
to enjoy. The Clarion is the official publication of Bethel
College. The stories that appear in it relate to Bethel College.
It is a good way for the students and faculty to
communicate with each other in a setting other than the
classroom.
The Clarion is a part of Bethel College that is very
important to the overall good of the community. Just think
what you would do without that folded newsprint every
week. There would be no interesting columns to read, no
informative newsbriefs, no weekly events calendar, and
most of all no topics of controversy for people to react to.
Letters to the editor are accepted every week, and they will
be printed no matter what their subject matter is. This is
another aspect of the paper—it gives everyone a chance to
freely voice their opinion to the community.
The Clarion is here for everyone. Everyone can benefit
from it in some way.
We need not watch out for the ways in which we use the
Clarion, but for the ways we misuse it. We need also to
watch out for ways that we misinterpret it. This week and
every week let us look for things that benefit not only
ourselves, but others as well. Let us consider others as well
as ourselves when we read the Clarion. The paper is there
for everyone, let's not forget that when we pull it out of our
PO's on Friday afternoons.

Sanctuary is a Judeo-
Christian tradition which has
a dual meaning. It is both a
place where a community of
faith gathers for worship and
a place of refuge and protec-tion.
Because of this dual
meaning of holiness and ref-uge,
sanctuary is a particu-larly
potent image for church-es
and synagogues in consid-ering
our responsibility for
exceedingly vulnerable refu-gees
from El Salvador and
Guatemala. Public sanctuary
not only meets the immediate
needs of specific refugees, it
also brings to the public eye
injustices for which we are, in
part responsible—injustice in
expedient applicants of Im-migration
and Naturalization
Service policies; and more
fundamentally, injustices in
and resulting from U.S. pol-icy
in Central America. Safety
for the refugees and churches
providing sanctuary is not en-sured
legally; it is ensured
through public support. Pro-viding
sanctuary for an ille-gal
alien is an act of civil dis-obedience.
The following is a
letter to churches involved
with refugees from members
of the Bethel community.
• • • • •
We, the undersigned mem-bers
of the faculty of Bethel
College desire to publicly en-dorse
and encourage your ef-forts
to provide sanctuary for
refugees from Guatemala and
El Salvador. We believe your
actions are a strong testim-ony
of God's love and justice,
as well as simple obedience to
God's mandates to serve the
poor, hungry, and op-pressed—
not as charity, but
as restitution.
We are distressed by the
participation of the United
States in Guatemala's and El
Salvador's civil strife. The
U.S. role, represented in eco-nomic
exploitation and mil-itary
funding, advisors, and
training of government forces,
appears anti-thetical to pro-moting
justice and human
freedom. This is particularly
so, when such intervention is
being used to oppress and
silence people and to perpe-trate
atrocities. We call for
conflict resolution in El Sal-vador
and Guatemala through
negotiation, not violence.
We support change in the
application of U.S. Immigra-tion
and Naturalization Ser-vice
policies toward Guate-malan
and Salvadoran refu-gees.
We urge actions which
uphold the intent of the UN
Convention and Protocol on
Refugees and endorsed by the
U.S. through Public Law 96-
212:
No contracting party shall ex-pel
or forcibly return a refu-gee
in any manner.whatsoever
to the frontiers or territories
where his life or freedom
would be threatened on ac-count
of his race, religion,
nationality, membership of a
particular social group, or pol-itical
opinion.
We call for U.S. policies
which make human rights the
cornerstone, and in particu-lar,
we call for Extended Vol-un.

Please print this letter on
file as our endorsement of the
action of Church in
ministering to these vulnera-ble
people. We are grieved
that sanctuary for Guatema-lan

involves breaking the law by
"harboring undocumented

are not entering this endorse-ment

Hamann falls victim to budget cuts
by Suzy Shelly
Being thankful, the pursuit
of excellence, rock music and
laughter. What do these seem-ingly
dissimilar topics have in
common? All were among the
speech topics in the Bethel
Speech Tournament held last
Tuesday, April 19. Sophomore
Leah Shirm, one of the 35 par-ticipants,
enjoyed listening to
the wide variety of subjects
presented. She noted, "I had
no idea a speech contest could
be so interesting!"
However, the tournament
consisted of more than pro-viding
information to inter-ested
audiences. The inter-school
contest open to Bethel
students, gives practical
speaking experience by test-ing
speaking skills.
Three categories of compet-ition
include: Oral Interpreta-tion,
Impromptu and Public
Address (Persuasion and In-formative
speaking com-bined).
Each of the partici-pants
presented their speech
twice in preliminary round,
while the finalists in Im-promptu
and Public Address
went one additional round to
determine medalists.
Advancing to the final
round in Impromptu, the most
popular category, were Marty
Masterjohn, Lori Swanson,
Diane Henry, Debbie Stein-berg
and Perry Maas. Seven
advanced to the finals in pub-lie
address: Debbie Steinberg,
Cliff Short, Barb Felton, Beth
Alvarez, Tammy Frink and
Suzy Shelly.
Trophies were awarded to
the top two places in each
category based on a three-judge
decision. Winning first
and second in Impromptu
were Debbie Steinberg and
Lori Swanson, respectively;
in Public Address, first went
to Lori Swanson and second
to Debbie Steinberg. Wendy
Verthein and Richard Pierce

Greg Hamann's and Connie
Johnson's positions as direc-tors
of resident life fell victim
to extensive budget cuts. On
May 31 their contracts will be
terminated with no replace-ments
for next year.
"A-lot of people will have to
pitch in to make up the differ-ence
in the work . load," said
Rod Long, director of college
housing. "It was not an easy
decision."
Hamann's present duties in-clude
supervising the. RD's,
directing the Student Union,
advising the Student Senate,
and directing the housing
maintenance staff. Johnson
shared the supervision of
RD's. After the termination,
all RD's and maintenance staff
will report directly to Long.
"As part of the budget pro-cess
we were asked to cut
one-and a-half positions,' said
Long. "I want to stress that
they were not fired, but their
positions eliminated. We're
losing well-qualified person-nel
that are an asset to the
program."
Hamann has worked for
Bethel housing for three years.
He's uncertain how it will
operate without two directors
of resident life. "I don't know
what they see," said Hamann.
"Theyr'e in a desperate situa-tion

its format has changed signif-icantly.

Hamann could give no spe-cific
details why his position
was cut. "I had it explained to
me very superficially. It's hard
to answer that question with-out
showing a bias."
"Everyone was asked to
make cuts," said Long. "And
we had cut equipment as far
as we could. There will prob-ably
be some things that won't
get done because of it."

housing staff. Long explained
that a general fund of the col-lege's
money is established
and that shortcomings in one
area do affect another. "It's a
common practice to use the
profits in one area and apply
them to another." Housing al-ways
has to generate revenue,
so money is often borrowed
from that fund. For example,
though health service is part
of Bethel, it still has to pay
rent to housing for using
townhouse space."
"In every person's life there are moments in which he can
know himself, tell himself who he is, whether he is a man
who values his human dignity above his life or a weak
creature who does not know his dignity and is concerned
with the useful (chiefly to himself). This is the situation
of a man who goes out to defend his honor in duel or a
soldier who goes into battle (although here the concepts
of life are wrong). It is the situation of a doctor or priest
called to someone sick with the plague, of a man in a
burning house or on a sinking ship who must decide
whether to let the weaker go first or shove them aside
and save himself. It is the situation of a man in poverty
who accepts or rejects a bribe. And in our times, it is the
situation of a man called to military service. For a man
who knows its significance, the call to the army is per-haps
the only opportunity for him to behave as a morally
free creature and fulfill the highest requirements of life—
or else merely to keep his advantage insight like an
animal and thus remain slavishly submissive and servile
until humanity becomes degraded and stupid."

Art students irate about curriculum change
by Neal Bernards
Art students, irate over a
curriculum change switching
Graphic Design Studio from
next fall to the spring of 1984,
organized a matrix meeting
with art teachers and con-cerned
administration on Ap-ril
20. "It was strictly a stu-dent
initiated meeting," said
Tricia Brownlee, associate
dean for academic programs.
A combination of budget
cuts and sabbaticals taken by
Dale Johnson, associate pro-fessor
of art, and George Rob-inson,
professor of fine arts,
forced the administration to
offer only one section of the
Graphic Design Studio class
next year. Another reason
cited was the lack of student
interest in the course.
"I think it's creating a very,
serious problem by only of-fering
it in the spring," said
Johnson, normally the instruc-tor
of the class. "It causes a .
bottleneck because only 15
students can work in the lim-ited
space available. It's bi-zarre
that they're doing this to
save such a small amount of
money."
Part-tinie instructors will
be hired to replace Johnson,
who will be gone the entire
year, and Robinson, who will
be gone for a semester. "We've
never been in the financial
crisis like we're in now," said
Brownlee. "We ask for your
understanding. There have
been additions to the amount
of art courses available, so it
all balances out in the end.
We're cutting corners in every
way we can."
"Cuts in equipment across
the board cut the art depart-ment
to the heart," said John-son.
"It may not hurt, say, the
history department as much."
The change in course sche-duling
causes a problem for
some upper-level art students.
"We have to plan for the fu-ture,"
explained Peter Lane,
an • art major. "Don't tell us
two weeks before registration
that a class isn't offered. This
creates setbacks that make
me wonder if I can come back."
"It seems like we're cutting
ourselves where we
shouldn't," said Johnson. "I
don't know the answer to this
question, but I'm afraid we're
going to lose some very good
students."
Brownlee and Dean Ebner,
associate dean for academic
programs, suggested that a
sign-up for Graphic Design
Studio be circulated to dis-cover
real student interest in
the course.
"Bethel is considered one of
the best Christian liberal arts
colleges for art in the nation,
said Ebner. "[hit Bethel isn't
an art technological institute.
We just want to let you know
that weare not trying to deci-mate
the program."
Despite a turnout of 30 stu-dents
and five art faculty, the
prospects for two sections of
Graphic Design Studio is not
good; "To be honest," said
Brownlee, "I don't think we
can teach the course twice
unless some money falls from
heaven. A choice has to be
made between fall and
spring."
Conference encourages wholehearted commitment for Jesus Christ

Why should someone go to
KC 83?
"Because KC 83 is calling
students to live a revolution-ary
lifestyle for Jesus Christ,"
said Bonnie Andrews, Bethel's
publicity coordinator for KC

committed to Jesus
Christ that we'll see the world
changed for Christ."

"One of the greatest forces

"This could well be the most

Leta Frazier, assistant

the tournament gave students
"the opportunity to work un-der

Although the tournament

Tennis team shows improvement despite defeats
by John Lilleberg
The men's tennis team con-tinued
their string of losses
this past week. However, de-spite
the losses great improve-ment
was shown progressive-ly
over the last four matches.
Things began with a 1-8
loss to River Falls. Bethel's
only win was delivered by
Randy Westlund at number
three singles. Westlund was
pleased but realistic about the
win, "I really didn't play that
well—I just happened to play
better than he did. The clay
courts might have had some
effect on him."
The next match was a 9-0
loss to Concordia—tradition-ally
a team that trounces even
the strongest Royal squad de-spite
the fact that both teams
are generally equal in ability.
In the next meet Macalester
defeated Bethel for the second
time this year. Sophomore
Tom Mills, who scored Beth-erTonly
win said of the match,
"I think everyone improved—
the matches were a lot closer.
We tested our opponents a lot
more. We're starting to catch
up to the opponents; we
couldm't practice with the bad
weather." Mills then added, "I
really think we're going to go
out there and win some
matches."
Against Hamline the Roy-als
finally gave a glimpse of
the potential talent of their
young players. Wins from
number one singles Ken Dahl-quist
and number five Mark
Stewart gave the Royals both
of their points in a 7-2 loss.
The match marked the first
time the Royals had scored 2
points against any opponent
this year. Stewart, who over-came
a third set deficit to win
said, "It was our best match
so far as a team. The guys are
playing better. There was im-provement
shown."
This weekend Coach Bill
Henderson and his team will
attempt to improve the team's
fifth place finish a year ago at
the conference tournament.
The matches will be played at
St. Olaf today and tomorrow,
April 29 and 30.
Royal tracksters get
day in sun finally
Dave Johnson, Jr. gets all he can behind the javelin during the men's
meet at the Carleton Relays.
by Rich Whybrew
The sunburned faces and
necks of the men's track team
tell half the story; the team
finally got a nice day for run-ning
at the Carleton Relays
last Saturday. The other half
of the story is the team's
strong performances under
the sun.
Steinar Engebretsen was
Bethel's lone champion at the
meet, capturing first in the
triple jump at 44'. Mark Mur-phy
took fourth in the same
event, about a foot and a half
behind Engebretsen.
Only one tenth of a second
separates Layne LaFrombois
from qualifying for nationals
in the 100 meter dash as he
ran a 10.7 for second place.
The freshman was also on
Bethel's 4x100 and 4x200 me-ter
relay teams which placed
fourth and sixth respectively.

summer job! Act now! We
need a few hard workers.

an interview. 874-8013.
Bethel's 4x800 meter relay
team came in third, and the
4x400 meter relay team was
fourth until it was disquali-fied
when a team member
stepped out of his lane during
the race. Head coach Steve
Whittaker said Tom Plocker
"had a nice double" in those
two relays, anchoring both
and moving the Royals up a
couple notches in both events.
Whittaker also commented
on the fine performance of the
weather last weekend. "It sure
is great to get outside and get
some nice weather," he said.
"It was probably the most
exciting thing about the day."
The team will do double
duty this weekend, April 29
and 30, taking a couple relay
teams to the prestigious Drake
Relays in Des Moines, IA,
while the rest of the squad
goes to the Waseca Invitation-al.

•Netters experience `eventful' week
by John Lilleberg
The women's tennis team
won one match, lost two oth-ers
and lost their number two
player in an eventful series of
matches this past week.
Things began with a 9-0
win over Concordia. (Concor-dia
had to forfeit two spots).
Winning in singles were
Kathy Lee, Sarah Runion, Lisa
Iverson, Sharon Johnson and
Connie Masters. In doubles,
the teams of Lee-Runion and
Iverson-Johnson were victor-ious.
According to Coach Von-da
Bjorklund, "The girls 'did a
pretty good job. They played
well at times and not well at
by Rich Whybrew
Head softball coach Paul
Currie says "Lord willing"
quite often when talking about
the team's upcoming games.
"Lord willing" as in, "Tomor-row
we'll practice outside,
Lord willing." The weather
has soured Currie on plan-ning
very far ahead.
But the weather let up late
last week and early this week
to allow the Royals to play
five games; three in the Uni-versity
of Minnesota tourney
last Friday, and a doublehead-er
on Monday. Bethel went 1-

the three-for-five hitting per-formance
by Steve Sheedlo
who was starting his first
game for Bethel. Dutton also
pointed to the fence-crashing,
home-run-robbing catch that
Sheedlo made in the third
inning as a key play in the
game.
After getting 15 hits in game
one Bethel continued to rip
the ball in the second game.
Fauth keyed the Royal attack
with three hits, including a
home run, and four runs bat-ted
in. Fauth also came on to
pitch in the third inning of the
game to pick up the win.
Lewie Schultz and Jeff Ek-lund
also had three hits in the
game to help account for most
of the Royals 12-hit attack.
"We hit the ball just as well
the second game as we did in
the first," commented Dutton
of Bethel's offense. "Of course,
you ought to be able to win
when you get that many hits."
Earlier in the week Bethel
had a hard time buying a hit
in losing to the league-leading
Concordia Cobbers on April
19. The Royals lost the first
game 4-0 while producing on-ly
one hit in the process. Game
two went better offensively
for Bethel but worse defen-sively
as the Cobbers chalked
up a 12-4 win.

against a struggling
team."
In the next meet Gustavus
trounced the Royals 9-0.
Bjorklund did not seem con-cerned
about the score, how-ever.
She was more interested
in talking about the unusu-ally
large crowd that came to
see the team's only home
match this year. In reaction to
the crowd Bjorklund said, "It
was fun to see the fan sup-port!
The opposing coaches
were real impressed by the
size of the crowd."
The team lost more than
the match against St. Scho-coming
over the U of M junior
varsity.
That game began the sea-son
and the tourney for the
Royals, who were "up and
excited" according to Currie.
The team shut out the Goph-ers
3-0 due to Pam Mens'
strong arm and Corrine Mey-er's
big bat. Currie said the
team backed Mens up with a
strong show of fielding, and
Meyer led Bethel's in hit at-tack
with two of her own.
Six hours later Mens was
pitching again, this time in a
4-1 loss to Augsburg. Bethel
managed only two hits in that
game and two hours later in
"We got a bunch of hits but
we didn't field the ball," said
Dutton of the second game. "It
just goes back to not having

Runion for the rest of the sea-son
with a knee injury. "I was
going for a backhand and it
just went out," said Runion of
the injury. "I've done it be-fore,"
she added. Fortunately
for the Royals Runion does -
have one year of eligibility
left.
The team lost the match 6-3
mainly because of having to
forfeit two matches due to the
injury. Winning for Bethel
were Lee and Sherri Isvik in
singles and Lee-Iverson in
doubles.
The next match is today,
April 29, at St. Benedict's.
a game against Inver Hills,
which the Royals lost 3-0.
Chris Johnson was the losing
pitcher in that game.
Monday the Royals played
St. Thomas in a doubleheader,
losing the first game 8-0 and
the second 1-0. Mens pitched
the first game and Johnson
, the second, but Currie said
pitching is not the problem.

time outdoors," he said. "The
ladies don't have much confi-dence

plate. You've got to be tough

Women show 'significant' results
page 8 the Clarion sports april 29, 1983
by Rich Whybrew
The women's track team
had performances of assorted
significances last Saturday at
the Carleton Relays; one qual-ified
for nationals, four quali-fied
for conference, and at
least four more had personal
bests at the meet.
Linda Channer was the Roy-al
who qualified for nation-als,
demolishing the field and
the qualifying standard in the
10,000 meter run. She lapped
the entire field at least three
times en route to a first place
finish in 37:00. Her time was
fully a minute and a half under
the qualifying standard for
nationals.
Hurdlers Laurie Staurseth
and Kris Hartzell both got
personal bests and qualified
for conference in the 100 meter
hurdles. Staurseth ran 16.4 to
place fourth and Hartzell fin-ished
eighth.
Shot putter Penny Marshall
crept closer to nationals,
throwing a personal best of
38', just over a foot short of
the standard. She finished
fourth in the shot, and in the
discus throw had a personal
best and conference qualify-ing
toss of 108'21/z".
Chris Sorensen also quali-fied
for conference with a 13.5
mark in the 100 meter dash.
Terri Thompson finished the
individual personal bests with
a 1:16 in the 400 meter hur-dles,
and the 4x200 meter re-lay
team of Staurseth, Hart-zell,
Jenny Burgess, and Ken-dra
French took sixth.
"We were glad to hit some
warm weather," said head
coach Cindy Book. "It helped
us physically and mentally."
She said Staurseth, Chan-ner
and Marshall will not
compete in this week's meet,
due to a mandatory RA re-treat.
"It's too bad because
Linda needs the competition
she would be getting at Macal-ester,
this week's meet," said
Book. "But we're going to see
if she can qualify in the 3,000
meters next, then choose
which . of the events she will
run at nationals."
MIAC expands as Carleton moves into league
New member joining conference brings a plus-minus situation with it
by John Clark
The fact that nearly every-thing
is on the rise these days
comes as no surprise to any-one.
Food prices are up, taxes
have pushed gas up again, the
Dow Jones is on the rise and
the Minnesota Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference is in-creasing
its size.
Although Carleton College
joining the MIAC next fall
probably doesn't affect most
people as much as the other
examples do, it does change
things for conference schools.
Already the MIAC has 10
teams which is generally as
large as athletic conferences
come. With the addition of
Carleton the conference has
11 members.
George Palke, who will be-come
athletic director next
fall, sees the addition of the
Carls as a plus and minus to
the MIAC.
"As an institution they're a
real asset," he said "Athleti-cally
they create real schedul-ing
problems. It fills up our
non-conference schedule with
the two additional games.
Most coaches prefer to have a
few non-conference games."
Palke's basketball teams
play an 18-game conference
schedule. With Carleton the
conference schedule is in-creased
to 20 games. With
limits on the number of total
games a team can play coaches
can't schedule pre-conference
season games to ready their
teams for the conference sea-son.
Last season the men's bas-ketball
team travelled to Flor-ida
to take on four NCAA
Division II basketball teams
before the conference season
started. Although Bethel lost
three of the games the Royals
came into the conference sea-son
ready to play witnessed
by its second place tie.
For Carleton the move to
the MIAC probably does more
for the Carls than it might for
the MIAC schools. Carleton,
by joining the MIAC, elimi-nates
the problems of travel it
had when it was in the Mid-west
Conference. Of the 11
teams in the conference, four
were from Illinois, three from
Wisconsin and three from
Iowa. In other words, Carleton
sports teams spent a lot of
time away from school travel-ling
to competitions.
"The bottom line for us was
a reduction in time away from
campus," said Carleton ath-,
letic director Jack Thurmgood.
"Also there was the respecta-bility
of the MIAC in athletics
and academics as opposed to
the philosophical ties and
bonds in the old conference. It
was hard for us to leave."
The jury is still out as to
whether Carleton can compete
on all levels in the MIAC.
Some unfamiliarity with the
conference schools might
cause problems initially for
the Carls.
"They'll have some prob-lems
not knowing what other
teams do," said Palke. "We
have a pretty good idea of
what a team is going to do
against us."
"It's a moot question as to
how we'll do now," said
Thurmgood. "You might get
different opinions on our cam-pus.
I'm apprehensive in our
being able to compete in cer-tain
sports . . . It's kind of a
mixed bag."
